Impaired Driving Charges Laid Following Traffic Complaint

A citizen complaint has led to impaired driving charges for a Leamington man.

The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers received a traffic complaint shortly after 10 p.m. on Saturday about a potentially impaired driver on Queens Line outside of Tilbury.

Authorities located and stopped the suspect vehicle on Mill Street in Tilbury. Believing the driver had been drinking, officers took him into custody for further testing.

As a result, a 51-year-old Leamington man is now charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. He will answer the charges in court at a later date.
